Notes:
Car appears to be a 53,000 mile original car.  It has original heater hoses, water pump by-pass hose, etc.  Was shown in Ohio in late 80s early 90's and came with dash plaques etc.  Exterior is aqua and white, repainted sometime in early 80's, interior is a strange combination of white tan and almost a mustard color, but appears to be original.

The engine is out of the car and the front clip is off.  The heads have been rebuilt with new valves, new springs, etc.  The engine is tight; the chain looks good and the cylinders have no ridges at the top.  The exhaust manifolds have been blasted and coated.  The carburetor is rebuilt.  The generator has been rebuilt, the radiator recored.  The heater core was repaired and reinstalled.  Rechromed front and rear bumpers, rechromed rear trim "Ys", trunk nameplate and center ring of the grille.  I have new front turn signal lenses and housings (repro).  New rugs, trunk mat, trunk boards, recovered seats.  The car is missing the headliner.

1977-79 Thunderbird aluminum wheels with new tires; original wheels included.  New NOS Y pipe.  Repro fender ornaments.  All rust issues on this car have been professionally addressed, except it needs new rocker panels.  The frame is 100% solid.
